clue-by-four
(jargon) | clue-by-four
[Usenet: portmanteau, clue + two-by-four] The notional stick with which one
whacks an aggressively clueless person. This term derives from a western
American folk saying about training a mule “First, you got to hit him with
a two-by-four. That's to get his attention.” The clue-by-four is a close
relative of the LART. Syn. clue stick. This metaphor is commonly
elaborated; your editor once heard a hacker say “I smite you with the great
sword Cluebringer!”
